GILMER. From fh- Sumter A""---. MESSRS. DEAR ?? ?STREN: Gentlemen, 7he recent action of the Edgefield Jury, in scating old debts to i'"> per cent of thc origi u ii amount, seems worthy imitation of through out tho State, and indeed thc en tiie South. This load of old Cebt, contracted on the fa'th of property swept away by force of arms, sits like a horrid nightmare upon thc energy, in dustry, and hopes of thc people, and each pas-.ing year but dee-pens thc burthen. On :.!'; bandi, we he ir it freely admitted (hal thc ':countty is bankrupt," and that something ought to bo done towards repudiation, or compromise. But the bug bear is the '? Con stitution." The inviolability of contracts. Congress passes laws regardless of the Con stitution and of all right and justice, which sweep away our property, and plue-, s it utter iv ont of? ur power to meet these obligations. Vet we are told that Conventions cannot pass jaws impairing the obligations of contracts. Bankrupt laws are passed however, and d', b t ,rs bidden to rid themselves of these incum* !>.- trices. Temptations arc offered for fraud, and the obligation of contracts impaired by t!ii> law to the amount of the $500 allowed the insolvent. It almost universally happens that in cases of Bankruptcy, the creditors generally get nothing, while tho '.judgment'," aro only partially and to a small amount '-sat isfied." Now could a universal rule of rettlement be adopted on the basis of 2.3 cents on the .SI,''O of the original amount, the country would soon bo relieved of its embarrassments, ttll creditors would be partially satisfied, and thc .. clog;"' taken from the wheels of activity and business enterprise. Tho amount releas ed by the creditor would in a short time be made up to him, in thn increased prosperity, ibo reviving wealth, and the enhanced value of tho community and State at la ^e. How can this consummation : e attained ? Let Ihe people meet at the Court House and throughout thc I *i<triet and State, and give expression to tin.-ir wishes. Lot tho Juries to assemble here in a short lime, r?solve to follow the example of ibe-r Edgefiel ! fellow- i citizens, and creditors generally, will so m i fall into their plan. Tedious, expensive, and vexatious le*g.il proceedings will be thus i avoided, and harmonious and speedy settle ] ments of old complications b . effected. < -. ; X Av UNPLEASANT A r.rx\siox.-" Dari Sickles" i recently spoke at Manchester, New Hampshire ! t and to quiet some loud talk among tho ladies , in the eallery:, tie- chairman banged away ; npon tho desk, declaring that " if the ladies 1 want lo hear they must keep quiet."

A lette from Florence in the Correspondence" Generale de Vienne hr.s the following remarks on the subject : l! Admiral Farragut makes more noiso than was evpr before made by any Admiral at tbe hoad of a small division of live vessels of war. Hut tho Eastern question may from day to day assume a dangerous character. The United States propose to take part for the future in European affairs, and they are encouraged in this intention by Russiu, which promises them a good harbor in thc Levant when she be comes mistress of it. It has always been the desire of tue great Republic to have a pied a-lerre (a foothold) in Europe. There i?, op posite tbe Island of Rhodes, the roadstead of Marmarina, which is vast in extent, perfectly ahcitcrcd from the winds and with an excel lent bottom for anchorage. Thc United State? isked it from Turkey, promising to build there ir large city under tbe sovereignty of the Sul :an, but England opposed the concession. It ? now affirmed that Russia bas contracted en gagements with the United States in regard :o it. As soon aa war breaks out the Ameri cans will have their port.

Herold, March 1] An Extraordinary Creature Discovered in Mississippi. About twenty-five miles from this city is a small stream known as Bear Creek, which empties into the Big Black River. "For some time past strange stories baye been told by the negroes of an extraordinary animal seen uear this creek. These stories Were laughed at and derided by lue'citizens, no ope believ ing in in; such statement*.1 This extra ordinary creature had often suddenly present? ed Limse'f among the uegroo? in the early twilight, CMiing great consternation among them. He is described by the negroes as be ing about eight fi et high', each eye, in their language " as targe as a hen's egg," with no nose and no Upper lip, his two eye teeth as large as a muirs thumb, extending down over his chin ab.-'Ut eight inches ; his right foot points directly to the front and the left to the rear, and the measurement of the track is jost ?*??..?<- ttiTce inches in length r his fin ger nails aro about six inches long ; the hair on his head-which is still'and wiry-sweeps tbs grnun! HS he v alka, and is parted in the rear and bronght down in front, un each side of his jinirularly formed chest, which is not round or Rat, bat is angular like that of a loni. The ba:r on the body of this singular being is very stiff, and grows to the rear, parting at the a'Jgle of the breast-bone, grow ing back, and uniting with a long, still growth on his spine, which extends back one foot like the spinal fin of a Gab, or the bristles on the back of a boar-the hair on his arms is parted, and grows iu the same way, making a long, thick brash on the back of the arms, extending from the shoulders to the point of his midd ic finger. The same peculiarity is observable OD hi* legs. No whits person has ever seen bim outil recently, when he was discovered by a hunting party. Several gen tlemen-acquaintances of ours-met en last Thursday week with a view of bear hunting in this swamp. They were accompanied by about fifteen well trained bear dogs. They prepared for the hunt early in the morning, and when about commencing ?.heir* attention was retracted to &n unusually large human track in the t<oft soil ; upon examination it was discovered that the track was constantly being rev-rsed. In an iustant the stories of thc negroes occurred to the party, and at once it was determined to pursue the creature which hail irii.de this track. The dogs were instantly called and encouraged to follow the ??rack, which they did promptly. The gentle men, mounted up-m good horses, found but little difficulty in keeping well up with the hounds. In a few minutes au object was pre sented to their view which sent a chill to the heart of every member of the party. They bad unearthed the nondescript. A being apparently human-suddenly arose from bis lair, turned and for a moment stood in silent inspection of his pursuers, and then instantly, with a yell truly terrific, wheeled aud with the y peed ni tue tauest horse, rushed away before the dogs. This wild and exciting chase was continued for a distance of nearly tcu miles, when at last the terrible monst"1" foaming with rage, was brought to bay -AI the bank of the Big Black, and turnip ,/ith a fury unparalleled, it seized the forer jst deg with both hands, and by thc exerej-o of su perhuman muscular strength, buried its long talons in the body of the howling brute aud literally tore the do,' asunder. Dropping this, it instantly seized the next and sent its two immense tusks through the skull of the doom ed dog. One of the hurdlers becoming alarm ed fur the safety of th? pat ty, drew his re volver and tired twice at thc monster, but wi'bout tiled other than to frighten it by the report, when, turning, with a hideous yell it plunged into tho river, diving and reinain ii'T under water fully five minute*, when it ?ould suddenly spring high into thu air, "creaming with thc voice of a regiment of sol diers. It finally swam to thc opposite side and disappear?^ in the neighboring forest, since which time it has only been seen twice by white persons. Several attempts have been msd'.! to capture it, bul up to the pres ent time without success. What this strange creature K no ono can conj-jcture. The gen tlemen with whom we have conversed repre sent it as a black man about six feet high, but in other respects resembling, to a ?rreit degree, tho description given by the negros. It has broken the negroes from attending Loyal Leagues at night in that section of country. From the Bollivar Bulletin. Dr. Baldwin nnd Another War. We copied, in our isjue of last week, apir seraph front th.^ Columbia Herald in which thc Rev. Ur. baldwin wus reported as declar ing, just before his death, that another and terrible warwctikl bc waged on this continent during tb" present year. Wo have since learned the following facts froui Dr. It. H.

There was also a small camp nt the Northern "Chiefs Bluff," who were entirely without supplies, and no hope is entertained of any of them being in existence now. The Indians at Devil's Lake ure getting fish enough to furnish them with about half a meal a day. Fifteen lodges, near Dog's Den, were without game all winter, and all are believed to have perished. The correspondent estimates the whole number of lives lost in the region re ferred to at from four to six hundred.
